My Dear Sir
I have but a moment to entreat your attention to the enclosed letter. Miss Binney, agreeably to the direction you will easily trace; and Mr. Murray informs me that your neighbour, Mr Bryant will hand him the letter addressed to Mrs. Mackie.
the Carte blanche with which you have indulged me, forbids my apologizing for these extra commission. I wrote you, rather copiously a few weeks since - enclosing a letter for my brother - I hope his parcel reaches you. Have you heard from the Mississippi Territory lately? My respectful Compliments attend your family
I am, Dear Sir
With grateful recollections
your frequently obliged &c &c
